Overview

The Shure QLXD2/SM58=-G50 combines one of the most trusted microphone capsules in live sound — the SM58 — with Shure's QLX-D digital wireless technology. Operating on the G50 frequency band, this handheld transmitter delivers 24-bit digital audio with remarkably low latency, making it suitable for live vocals in music venues, houses of worship, corporate presentations, and broadcast environments. The all-metal construction ensures it can withstand the demands of nightly use and touring, while the efficient RF spectrum management helps avoid interference in crowded wireless environments.

Battery flexibility is a practical advantage of this transmitter. It runs up to 9 hours on two standard AA alkaline batteries, or extends to approximately 10 hours with the optional Shure SB900 lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The transmitter provides an operating range of up to 328 feet line of sight, giving performers and presenters ample room to move. Keep in mind that this is a transmitter-only unit designed exclusively for QLX-D Digital Wireless Systems — you will need a compatible QLX-D receiver to complete your wireless setup.
